AMELIA’S P.O.VI ended up in front of the hospital. I took a detour home first and I made him lunch. I wasn’t sure if he had eaten but if I had to guess, I would have said no. Kaden tended to have a one track mind in the sense that once something became the object of his focus, it would take a lot to drag him away from it. Right now, his focus was Nadine and nothing else mattered for better or for worse.I stopped in front of the desk where a new and unfamiliar nurse stood. “I want to see Nadine.”“Are you family?” she asked and I hesitated. “Are you a friend or a relative? I am under clear instructions not to allow anyone into her room that isn’t any of the above.”“Actually, I want to see the Alpha but he is in Nadine’s room.”She scoffed. “Do you know how many people want to see the Alpha, girl? You are better off making an appointment at the office but he doesn’t make time out for groupies. I hear he has a girl now so maybe try a new target. The beta might be a good one.”My cheek

AMELIA’S P.O.VIan was a nice companion to drive home with. He was funny and his music taste was impeccable. He had the stereo on the entire time and was singing at the top of his lungs, I couldn’t stay frowning for long. By the time we got back to Kaden’s place, I couldn’t help but realize just how lonely and starved for human attention that I was.“Thank you for the ride,” I told him as I hesitated to get out. “It means a lot to me, you have no idea.”“It’s not a problem,” he waved me off. “If you ever need one then don’t hesitate to call. You know where to find me.”I got out of the car and waved him off. He had just disappeared down the driveway when I noticed another car driving towards me. I froze and blinked twice wondering if maybe I was seeing things but I knew I wasn’t. it was Kaden’s car with him in the front seat. I rubbed at my eyes and even went as far as to pinch myself because I wasn’t expecting him. I forced the hope back down in my chest because I didn’t want to jump

AMELIA’S P.O.VMarjorie was in the house until late evening. By the time she left, I was exhausted and I didn’t want to see another human being. I could tell she felt the same way about me. Despite the many hours we had spent together, it was clear that we would never be friends. We just had too many differences and different ways of approaching things. She had suggested I create a scene in the hospital and threaten Kaden to get him home but I was adamantly against that idea.We couldn’t end up agreeing and just decided that it would be better if we just stayed away from each other and tried our various methods, mine was to give Kaden space until he decided that he wanted to come home. it hadn’t been working so far but it seemed to work this time because just as I was getting ready for bed, the front door opened.At first, I was terrified that someone had broken in. I carried a lamp and slowly inched down the stairs in the dark towards the source of the noise. I was about to bring the

AMELIA’S P.O.VThat sentence broke my heart in more ways than anyone could possibly imagine but I still managed to plaster a smile onto my face. “Give me a minute so I can get dressed. We can go together.”“You don’t have to come if you don’t want to.”“If she wakes up then I want to be there.”He looked like he was itching to leave at that exact moment but he nodded. I made my way up to the room wondering if he was going to leave me if I wasted time getting dressed. It was a theory I wanted to test out but another part of me wanted to get to the hospital as quickly as possible so that I could see for myself what was happening.By the time I got back down, Kaden was packing impatiently and he muttered under his breath in relief once he saw me. He drove faster than I had ever seen him drive before and as soon as we got to the hospital, he sprinted past me and into the doors. I tried not to let it hurt considering the fact that he had spent the entire night and this morning with me but

AMELIA’S P.O.VI planned to stay indoors for the rest of the day when I heard a knock. I went to check only to see Clara standing there with a small picnic basket in her hands and a smile on her face. When I looked down and saw her barefooted, I shook my head at her. I leaned against the doorframe with a small smile as I watched her.“To what do I owe the pleasure?” I asked and she stretched out the basket to me as if it was an answer.“I thought maybe we could spend some time together in the woods. What do you think? Caleb says that the rogues have basically disappeared so we have nothing to worry about.”“I’m not sure,” I began but she shook her head.“I’m not taking no for an answer,” she cut me off as she began pulling me towards the back of the house. “We haven’t spent any time together since all of this happened and I think we need it right now more than ever. What do you think?”“I think that even if I say no, you will drag me anyway.”She winked. “You’re a fast learner. I like
